Academic Research Orientation (Litreview)
Automates academic literature discovery and orientation by generating structured research guides from Consensus paper searches.
This skill acts as a comprehensive 'launching pad' for researchers entering unfamiliar fields, utilizing proven frameworks like PICO or SPIDER to map out the literature landscape. It executes a multi-phase workflow—from initial reconnaissance to targeted searches via the Consensus MCP—and synthesizes the findings into a professional Word document. The resulting guide provides priority reading orders, sub-area analysis, key research groups, and identified gaps, allowing researchers to dive into their work with immediate clarity and confidence.
